...There are still plenty of guys still out there that can come in and contribute to this team. No reason to get caught up in the feeding frenzy that is the first few days of Free Agency and do something stupid. Here's a list of some guys who are still available. Many of them could be had for cheap if there is slow market for them.

Clabo was always a pretty darn good pass protector and run blocker, but was especially known for his run blocking in the power run scheme. Last year, ProFootballFocus graded him out as the worst OT in the NFL for the first 6 games. It was felt that the reason was because Miami was his first real major exposure to the ZBS. One of the reasons the Falcons released him back when (besides going for more youth) was that they were moving to a ZBS offense and were concerned about his transition to such a system. But, it should be noted that last year he seemed to finally better acclimate to Miami's ZBS later in the season. He has been extremely durable, with only basically one minor short-lived hip injury that never kept him out of a game. At 6'6" and 315 pounds, he would seem to be a perfect fit in the OB offense. As I feel he still has some left in the tank, I'd be in favor of getting this multi-Pro Bowler on board as a strong vet presence and mentor, as well as a competition for the RT vs backup position.

Great info doc! Based on this alone I've gone from meh to intrigued. Looking at just stats like most seem to do these days this guy would of been a waste of time to even look at.

‏@caplannfl Tyson Clabo's workout w/Cards went well enough that they were interested in signing him, but both sides couldn't come to an agreement.

Found this re. Clabo. He visited the Cardinals as a starter candidate. But it appears that Clabo wanted more than a 1 year deal which is what the Cardinals offered. The Cardinals are thinking that after leaving without signing, and after testing the market further, he will come back to their table for what was offered.
